October (2016) Haul

Hey everyone!

This is sorta a late post. Just sharing some of the items that I bought during the month of October... well, some of these were late gifts because September was my birth month. 

I'm sharing these so that you might find something that you like and that you might want to know where I was able to buy it and how much it was. 

So without further ado, here they are...

These are items I bought when we went to Glorietta and SM Makati during the second week of October:

NUXE Paris Eye Creme Prodigueuse - PhP 1,449.00 

(I bought this as a very late birthday gift for Liz)

NUXE Paris Huile Prodigueuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil - PhP 900.00 

(This is Liz's gift for me)

Here are some colorful items from Japan Home Center:

Wrapping Paper - PhP 88.00

Hooks - PhP 88.00

5 pcs Mechanical Pen - PhP 66.00 (THESE ARE SUPER ADORBS!)

Daily Defense 3 Minute Leave in Treatment in Macadamia Oil - PhP 199.00

(Buy 1 Take 1 promo!)

I've been eyeing the products from Origins for a while now and I just wanted to know if they will work on my skin. I consulted with Steph (their SM Makati SA) my skin problems (acne and very oily) and that I was looking for something that feels light but at the same time oil-free. She recommended me to try this—Origins High Potency Night-A-Mins (PhP 2,100.00). It's a moisturizer rich with vitamins (C and E) and minerals and it is oil-free and safe for sensitive skin.

What's so awesome is they had a promo that if I buy a moisturizer, I get a mini box full of travel-size freebies. I got their Renewal Serum with Willowherb, Original Skin Retexturizing mask with Rose Clay, and GinZing Refreshing Scrub Cleanser.

I'm not sure if the promo is still up because it's valid until supplies last and I'm glad that I was one who got to avail it. :P

Steph also gave me some freebies to try! Yayyy! Origins may be a bit heavy on the budget but I'm spoiled with freebies so I'm a happy shopper. :)

I did some online shopping too from Ellana Cosmetics!

 

These aren't all mine, some are for my officemate....

Ellana Pressed Foundation in Hazelnut

Ellana Loose Foundation and Concealer in Radiant

Ellana Loose Foundation and Concealer in Awake

Magnetic Makeup Compact Case

Cucumber Melon Makeup Brush Cleaner

Please see their website for the prices.

I also went to Trinoma with friends to watch a movie... but I did some shopping first!

Dorothy Perkins Dress - PhP 1,595.00

And National Bookstore has some books on sale (up to 50% off)! 

Idiot's Guide to Wine - PhP 302.00

The National Artists of the Philippines Part II - PhP 100.00

The book about Monet is a gift from Liz. :)

From Power Books:

Rubber Erasers - Php 199.00 (They are big and thick and have nice packaging)

Cara Wax Pastel  - Php 890.00

Pretty expensive for a wax pastel set of 10. But I was so curious as to why they are so expensive.

From Tickles:

Puppies in Full Bloom Sticky Notes - PhP 80.00

Eiffel Tower Metal Bookend - PhP 179.00

(Fully Booked)

I went to SM Aura with my brother next and bought the following:

Kuretake Transparent Watercolor Set 

This is a gift from my brother. He said that he wanted to give me anything that's art-related because he supports my passion so much. 

I also went to Watsons, SM Aura and got:

L'Oreal Color Riche in Rose Fondu

This is around PhP 300.00 if I remember correctly... I bought it at 30% off. 

Wet Brush Detangle

Forgot the price. Sorry!

Marks and Spencer Spotted Textured Bra - PhP 750.00 (It was on sale at 50% off!)

 Marks and Spencer teas (and mints!)

 These are on sale too (expiration is between April-July 2017):

Pure Peppermint Infusion - PhP 100.00

Christmas Classic Tea - PhP 175.00

Calming Teabags Infusion - PhP 136.00

Detox Infusion - PhP 136.00

Organic Green Tea with Lemon Infusion - PhP 100.00

 Strong Mints - PhP 110.00

And last but not the list, my haul at Yves Rocher!

Yves Rocher Reparation Nutri-Repair Treatment Shampoo - PhP 495.00

and Yves Rocher Anti Pelliculaire Anti-Recurrence Dandruff Shampoo - PhP 495.00

I bought two because they have a promo! Well, each shampoo targets different hair and scalp concerns, but buying one shampoo and another shampoo or conditioner entitles you to a freebie and it's...

one full-size bottle of 

Yves Rocher Reparation Repair Hair Repair Oil

and this is worth around PhP 800.00!

The next products are discounted at 70% off so I bought them! Haha! They are recommended to people with Combination to Oily skin so I thought I could try it. (It's gonna expiration date is by the end of the year but I'm pretty sure I can finish them before it ends)

 Yves Rocher Sebo Vegetal Matifying Gel Cream - PhP 238.50

 Yves Rocher Sebo Vegetal Purifying Scrub  - PhP 208.50

 Yves Rocher Sebo Vegetal Purity Mask - PhP 238.50

The SA also gave me a freebie of their shampoo. Yay! 

And another freebie (Organic Raspberry Shower Gel) because I availed their membership card. 

When you get five stamps on your card, you get a free gift (my first gift is the shower gel). Every PhP 350.00 worth of purchase entitles you to one stamp. :D

OKAY.

That was a lot.

But I was able to earn money from my blog, a freelance work, and also my full-time job. I am also feeling pressured because of my on-going thesis and I try to keep myself happy with new things that make me pretty. Haha! 

Anyway, if you like to know more about a certain product from my haul, do comment below and I might write a review. ;)

Cheers,

June-July (2015) Haul

Hey hey guys~!

I'm sooooo happy today because I was able to attend Bigbang's concert last Thursday night. The concert is a part of their MADE world tour. They sang really well live and... well, everything was perfect—the lights, the sound system, their voices, the audience singing with them, the funny conversations, everything!!! T.O.P was so cute when he said "Gusto mo ba?" which is the Filipino translation of the "You like?" statement that he loves to repeat nowadays. I also love his Piet Mondrian-inspired suit when he sang "Doom Dada." But even though my bias is still the gorgeous Tabi, I would have to say that Daesung took the gold as best Bigbang member of the night. His jokes, especially the "Nakikita niyo ba ako?" part was hilarious and his drum skills were the bomb! Anyway, I could go on with the fan girling but I would shut up now and just share with you the items I bought during the months of June and July. I didn't buy much makeup but I bet you'll find some of the items I bought interesting. :)

So here they are:

Some art books from National Book Store:

"Chinese Animal Painting Made Easy" by Rebecca Yue - P395.00 (I recently had a project to do a painting like the traditional Chinese artworks)

"How to Read Art" by Liz Rideal - P865.00

"Acrylic Made Easy: Portraits" by Susan Miller Bradbury - P399.00 (I need to improve in painting)

Some Art Materials of course!

Some chinese brushes ranging from P17.00 - 64.75

Gesso Primer P250.00

"Henry VI" - P137.50

While I was buying groceries, I saw these items on sale so I bought them:

Maybelline EyeStudio Crayon Brow in Brown - P99.00
Physiogel Cleanser (If you buy 1 500ml, I get a 300ml for free) - I forgot the price... I think it's around P600.

Another set of items I bought on sale. Now from Beauty Bar:

Burt's Bees Intense Hyrdration Eye Cream - P 507.50 (P1,450 before)

ARTDECO Eyeshadow Glam in Beige Rose Gold - P192.5 (P350 before)

Yadah Triple Tintin Gloss - P 100.00 (P395 before)

A Dorothy Perkins Dress, also on sale at 50% discount. Got this for P799.00 only.

Also did a mini shopping spree when we visited Tagaytay and shopping at the outlet stores at Paseo afterwards.

A Vanilla flavoured coffee from Bag of Beans, Tagaytay - P240.00

Guerlain Lingerie de Peau Foundation and Concealer for P2,500.00 (Original price was around P3,700)

2 pair of bras from Marks and Spencers for P1,650.00

A plant for my desk (Teehee) - P100 or was it P80?

I lost the receipt here but more art supplies were bought! LOL
An artsy envelope, Glittery Prang Watercolor, Smudger, Charcoal powder, China Ink, and some calligraphy stuff.

I didn't buy these but I think I should include this so expect to see these on future posts.
Jenna Hipp nail polishes and a Pantone Universe Lipgloss from a friend (thanks Anna!)

I also got some CLIO Nail Styler polishes and a Double Wear Hydrating CC-Dation from Singapore. My friend, Yuki, went there for a week vacation and asked her to buy me some products that aren't available in the Philippines yet. :P

And I also bought a few items from Daiso...

A set of post-its, some USB cables for my phone, Lace tapes, and...

THESE BOXES OF COTTON PUFFS! Lol Buy 3 sets (6 boxes) for only P188.00
Been buying these for more than a year and I love this promo! Lol

And I also bought this Pantene Color Revival Conditioner and a Mark Anthony Oil of Morocco Argan Oil Treatment when we were buying groceries at S & R.

Not in pictures were my BigBang lightstick purchase and... well, the concert ticket. LOL I was able to buy stuff during these months because of the mid year bonus. Haha!

And back to being poor again. I'll just daydream about the concert again. Oh T.O.P... :3

February-March 2015 Haul

Hey guys!

I'll be off to Jeju Island tomorrow so I won't be able to post as often as usual. I'm very excited though because I don't travel much, especially outside the country. I'll get to see a foreign place, experience a different culture, and shop! Haha! Anyway, will be sharing some of the items I shopped for the past couple of months!

Beauty Planet Brush Retractable Brushes

I was able to get these for around Php 150.00. They were on sale so I bought one for myself and the other two are for my officemates. The brushes are soft but I do experience a bit of shedding. Just a few strands so they're still good. They also look really cute!

More makeup brushes from Landmark

I can't remember the exact prices of these but I'm pretty sure that they are worth less than Php 200.00 each.

Some products that deal with my acne

I haven't opened the Zenutrients tea tree hydro gel yet. As for the Snoe one, I have reviewed it already. 

Some haircare products

Will make a review on the shampoo soon. The herbinol, I haven't tried yet.

More hygiene related products

Teas from Marks and Spencer

They were 30% off! Yay!

Art books about local artists

These were so affordable. One is only Php 100 and the other is Php 200.

The rest of the items were bought from Beauty Bar...

Got this one on sale. Original price was Php 295.00 and was able to get this less than Php 200.00

Bought this to take with me during my travel to Jeju.

And oh, I was able to grab these items while they were discounted. They were sold super cheap because they have this launch discount promo.

Mythos SPF25 Suncare Milk and Aloe Moisturizing and Cooling Gel plus a towel for Php 330.75. Original price is Php 945.00.

Mythos Deep Tan oil and After Sun Body Milk plus towel

Price is Php 295.75, original price was Php 845.00.
